Cytocell Recalls Aquarius CRLF2 Distal Probe Due to Faint Signal Risk
Cytocell Ltd. is recalling 72 units of the Aquarius LPH 511-A CRLF2 Distal Probe Green because faint additional signals may cause normal samples to be misreported as abnormal.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source explicitly states there is a 'low risk' of misreporting and no injuries or illnesses are reported, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.
Plain-English summary
Cytocell Ltd. is recalling 72 units of the Aquarius LPH 511-A CRLF2 Distal Probe Green, model no. LPH 511-A. The affected lots are 072240, 071390, and 072693. The product was distributed domestically to California, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Texas, and Washington, as well as to Canada.
The recall is due to the potential for users to observe very faint additional locus-specific signals at 11q13. This issue creates a low risk that a normal sample may be incorrectly reported as not normal in a resulting laboratory developed test (LDT) that utilizes the probe.
Users of the affected probes should contact Cytocell Ltd. for further instructions on how to proceed with the recall.
